Vampire movies accustomed us with a lot of low budget enchanting works in last years. Just think about My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To from 2020: Kicking Blood could be less extraordinary, much more imperfect than the movie by Jonathan Cuartas, and less original; but it's still deeply atmospherical, existential, and weird at the same time. It seems to tell us not going back to "normality", but how transformation is not just another identity only if it's perpetual

Kicking Blood is, unfortunately, wanders in space while trying to make a romantic vampire story. While it focuses on the pleasure that the vampire gets while sucking blood, the movie deviates from its path and misses the target. Actually, a good idea is unfortunately wasted.

The first victim's acting was a *little* wooden, and even the lead's, at first, I thought was a little stilted. But she grew on me. And overall this film is worth a watch. It's thoughtful, and the cinematography, acting and dialogue are all good. It's something different--maybe a little like Let the Right One In (though clearly a bit lower budget) and a teensy bit like Romeo and Juliet, even.

Kicking Blood has a unique fascination with day-to-day existence and a search for meaning rather than a never-ending accumulation of knowledge and power for its own sake.

Bloody Disgusting

It's a breathtaking but somewhat empty waltz through vampirism.

Rated: 2.5/5

With its breathtaking cinematography and effectively low-key performances, Kicking Blood is marked a unique spirit of slick delirium, where desire and ennui make strange yet effective bedfellows.

Unfortunately Kicking Blood wants to give a soul to its vampires without having a soul of its own. The result is lethal. [Full review in Spanish]

Culture Mix

Kicking Blood tries to draw parallels between alcoholism and a vampire's lust for blood, but this boring horror flick fails miserably as a scary movie and as an intended love story.
